keep humidity in 70% during seedling and veg, drop to 60% in flower and to 45/50% at the end week before harvest.No it was low rh. Was drying and couldn't get rh outta 30's with a little humidifier so i bought a big one. It worked great. Shot rh to 75 % b 4 I caught it. Mold in 24 hrs or less. Here's the victim, Acopulco Gold
Real tight buds.
^^This.^^Personally I think the soil would be fine. Mold and fungus spores are literally floating around us in the air all the time, it grows as soon as it finds hospitable conditions.
too much moisture
too much moisture seedlings 70 % vegetation 60 % they say flowering but from others, etc as from reading, you have to cut the humidity down 40 - 55 % any more you're heading for a disaster, I had to come in & put my 2 cents in salvaging molded buds freezing wet buds will cure it? no, it's there after you take it out of the freezer you'll still have to fight to keep the mold out
What is bud rot? caused by moisture, I grow mine without advising others, I don't like to get blamed for going wrong, but whatever you do if it's molded get rid of it, take it as a trial & error you need more circulation to keep them hanging don't ram them in jars too fast 1 of the reasons that can cause mold, sometimes it can take up to 6 months to cure properly, I got a friend that is overly paranoid about his plants growing them outside has cameras that will send pictures of others getting too close, etc, talk about the security?Are you sure it’s mold? If it’s a white powdery substance it could be from the humidifier mist and not mold.
did you see the ratings of where the humidity suppose to be? keep it at that range, you should be fine, drop humidity down when flowering, don't rush the curing, curing times vary, smelled it? NASTY SMELL, air circulation is the keyTks everyone for the replies. Yes the conditions were near perfect for mold. I was trimming my last and biggest bud when i noticed black spots. I opened it up and saw lots of black, from inside towards the outside. It also smelled like mold. I immediately trashed the whole plant. A couple wks ago my generator sent a power surge though our house as the power had gone out. It blew out a garage door opener, directv box, many light bulbs, and 2 outta 3 fans in the 4x4 tent among other things. Luckily it didn't hurt my grow lights !! So yeah, not enough air circulation and then a sudden change in rh. Lesson learned. We had an electrician hook up a sub panel with switches designed just for that application. So no more surges. Always somethin' !!!!

Yes bud rot is caused by too much moisture. Catipillars too but those are usually in outdoor grows. Personally in low humidity like that I probably would have went straight to paper bags to slow the dry rather then have added a humidifier.What is bud rot? caused by moisture, I grow mine without advising others, I don't like to get blamed for going wrong, but whatever you do if it's molded get rid of it, take it as a trial & error you need more circulation to keep them hanging don't ram them in jars too fast 1 of the reasons that can cause mold, sometimes it can take up to 6 months to cure properly, I got a friend that is overly paranoid about his plants growing them outside has cameras that will send pictures of others getting too close, etc, talk about the security?
Pardon me.
